Australia Airport Duty Basics
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not AVSEC training and is not recognised by any aviation security authority.
Australian airports that serve the public work under one national security law. It sets up airside and landside areas, security zones, and an identity card called the ASIC. It also creates a role called the airport security guard, with two narrow extra powers.
